Background: I did my MBBS in a private college via a General Merit Seat. Academics were given importance and we did participate in quizzes at intra-college and inter-college level. For my internship, I worked at Hassan District Hospital for 10 months under all the departments (minus the stipend though) where there was significant workload and opportunity to do procedures, assist in surgeries and conduct deliveries (due to the absence of PGs in most branches).
After this, I joined DBMCI, Bangalore for the regular classes on weekends. I was also a Plan C User of Marrow. The classes were well organized with the best faculties conducting the classes from 8 to 8 or likewise. Each subject class was followed by a few days gap and a test on the same subject in the next week after which we began the next subject. I attended VIBE and found it to be extremely useful for an Image Based revision.
After the classes got over around September, I began my revision as per a timetable and tried to complete 3 revisions. I attended the Central Institute exams as well and tried to improve after exam. I got 192 in NIMHANS, 2338 in AIIMS, 935 in JIPMER and 2093 in NEET PG.
